My wife and I are big fans of the show and this year we’ll be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. She loves dancing but it’s never really been my specialty. I would love to pick up even just a few moves so that come our anniversary, I can take her out and show her a good time!”
He may not be a joke duffer contestant and will be willing to try his best to learn properly.
There's some discrepancies on some people's heights, so these are the definite ones (or it is the only specified one):
Alison - 5ft 10 (IMDB)
Pixie - 1.73m (Wikipedia, translates as about 5ft 9)
Caroline - 1.63m (Wikipedia and others, translates as 5ft 4)
Frankie - 5ft 3 (according to OK Magazine)
Sunetra - 5ft/5ft 1 (according to FamousWiki)
Jake - 1.80m (Wikipedia and IMDB, which translates to 6ft - not the 5ft 10 and 3/4 that IMDB say it is)
Steve- 1.80m (Wikipedia, which again is 6ft)
Scott - one site has him listed as 5ft 10 or 178cm, when 178cm is more 5ft 11.
Simon - Most places have him at 1.77-1.78m, which is about 5ft 11.
Gregg - A Mirror article puts him at 5ft 8
Judy - nothing specific stated, but compared to Andy (who's 6ft 3), she looks to be around 5ft 6
Jennifer - again nothing specific, but compared to Brendan (her husband, who's only about 5ft 3), she looks to be somewhere between 5ft 3 and 5ft 6.
Tim - Tim states his height as 6ft, although it is disputed as being more like 5ft 9.
Mark - slight discrepancy here, IMDB has him as 5ft 10, whilst Wikipedia has him at 1.88m, which is about 6ft 3. Most likely he's in the middle at around 6ft.
Thom - A few places have Thom's height as 6ft, whilst a couple of others list it as 6ft 2.
I've tried to have a look at pictures of the band to see how Frankie compares to the others - Mollie is stated to be 5ft 4, so I particularly looked for pictures of the 2 of them. As far as I can tell, they look to be the same height, so I'd say Frankie definitely isn't 5ft 6, maybe 5ft 5 at the most. Personally I'd put her at 5ft 4 as well.
"Last year’s footballer’s wife Abbey Clancy was a model, TV regular and gossip column fixture. This year’s footballer’s wife Frankie Bridge, well, isn’t."
Yeah, she's just had 19 top ten hits in two pop groups. Not worth a mention, is it?
"Previous boyband hunks have been from arena-fillers McFly and Westlife. This year’s boyband hunk, Simon Webbe from Blue, was declared bankrupt last year."
Wikipedia tells me McFly have worldwide sales of 7 million, Blue have 10 million.
"If Beeb bigwigs wanted to keep it in-house, they should have looked at heavy-hitters such as Top Gear, Doctor Who, Call the Midwife and The Apprentice, not the soaps and daytime schedules."
They've never had anyone from these shows before. Why would this series be any different?
What a silly article.
My only thought is that I'd rather Gregg Wallace had been replaced by another sportsman. To have a cast of 8 men and the most prominent sportsman be Thom Evans seems a bit odd, but hey.

It's particularly hard to judge with Frankie because she always wears such high heels, but I've just found these pictures of Frankie with her husband of Wayne Bridge who is 5'11 (and I'm assuming that height is correct as he was professional footballer) and she doesn't look that much shorter than him, so I'm leaning more to 5'6 now.

Great post, and totally sums up what a load of codswallop that article is.

So do I and hope he stays for a good while .
Must be one of the oldest line up of celebs ever .
Lol, a MAN IS GOING to WIN :cool::cool::cool:
edy, you do know Frankie's a woman from the Saturday's girl group
Awwwww how lovely :kitty:
Really ???
She won't win ...
Gregg Wallace is one of them I think.
Thom Evans - 1.83m
Jake Wood - 1.80m
Steve Backshall - 1.80m
Scott Mills - 1.78m
Tim Wonnacott - 1.78m (allegedly)
Simon Webbe - 1.77m
Gregg Wallace - 1.72m
Brilliant, can you do the female line up as well?
Pixie Lott - 1.73m
Judy Murray - 1.69m
Caroline Flack - 1.63m
Jennifer Gibney - unknown (at guess, around 1.73m)
Frankie Bridge - unknown sorry
Sunetra Sarker - unknown sorry
Feel free to add / edit these - but this is all I could find!
This is what i found, I have also added in foot measurements above for ease (for me )
Frankie is 1.68m/ 5'6
Sunetra is 1.60m/ 5'3
Touching 6 foot in heels in then?
This website lists Frankie as 5'3, and is an interview with her, but Google immediatwly comes up with 1.68m/5'6, so it could be either.
Alison - 5ft 10 (IMDB)
Pixie - 1.73m (Wikipedia, translates as about 5ft 9)
Caroline - 1.63m (Wikipedia and others, translates as 5ft 4)
Frankie - 5ft 3 (according to OK Magazine)

Steve- 1.80m (Wikipedia, which again is 6ft)

Ah...it's hard to know who is correct isn't it.

Thank you
I always think of 1.8m as 6' (in a rule of thumb kind of way), but It's actually a shade under 5'11.
(6' in meters is 1.8288)
Thanks
So he'll probably have Janette or Ola.
